Considerations
• Extensions without displays get a busy signal, rather than the Absence
Message.
• If a message code number that has not been assigned a text message is
selected, “Absence,” followed by the code number, appears on the caller’s
display.
• Absence Message return times can be entered as shown in Table 5-2:
Table 5-2. Example Return Times for Absence Messages
Four-digit numbers can also be entered (0000-9999 = Hours & Minutes or
Month & Date).
• DND and Absence Messages cancel Call Forwarding.
Calls to extensions with DND or Absence Message turned on are treated
differently, depending on whether they are trunk or intercom calls.
Intercom calls receive busy tone; trunk calls are routed to the extension
defined in permanent call forwarding.
The following types of incoming trunk calls follow permanent call forward
